Do you know that your favorite donut treat comes from a long history of yummy delicacies from all over the world? Called “globi” or “globuli” by ancient Romans, they used little round balls of dough to which cheese was added before cooking in oil, then dipped in honey and sprinkled with poppy seeds.

Europeans have always loved their donut delicacies. Austria in the 18th century had their own donut version called “krapfens”, which are bent like the letter “S”, and filled with various kinds of fruit filling. The French have their “beignet” filled with rose hips paste, while the Italians called theirs “Bomboloni”. The German “Berliner” has plum or strawberry jam as its traditional filling topped with sugar syrup.

Poland’s “paczek” is a special treat from Christmas morning to Epiphany with traditional filled with cherry and rose petals. The Russian “pishka”, on the other hand, is a round ball roasted in olive or sunflower oil. Chinese “youtiao” is a golden-brown deep-fried strip of dough usually served for breakfast with rice congee and soy milk.

Donuts were believed to arrive in America in the 19th century through the Dutch settlers, which called the treat “olykoek”. Hansen Gregory, an American, claimed to have invented the ring-shaped doughnut in 1847 aboard a lime-trading ship when he was only sixteen years old.

Since then, donuts, as we know now, became a worldwide phenomenon.

For many years, Dunkin’ Donuts has been served in more than 9,000 stores in over 30 countries worldwide. From Asia to Latin America, and everywhere in between, you can count on Dunkin’ Donuts to serve your favorite donut treat.

It was one lazy Sunday afternoon, we just came home from our lunch out and was preparing for an afternoon stroll at the mall. I was with my nephew that time and I teased him to dance for me, any dance will do I said. I remember my brother-in-law telling how hard it is for him to dance, not because he can't but he won't!

Haha, now that is a challenge for me then. I reached into my bag, and luckily I had a bar of chocolate, and showed it to him, opened it up and had a bite. Before taking my second bite, my nephew was all over me.... saying "I want that!! I want that!!" Wow! This is the perfect opportunity. I slowly asked him, "If you want this you better dance for me" =)

I got my MP3 player and played a dance song, and before long he was grooving like no other, so I had to have this moment pictured, and surely he did not disappoint.

And so started with the shaking and jumping

hey, he moves like "MJ"

he was jumping all over the place... what moves he is showing

and the finale... that killer pose!! isn't he adorable?

Oh how I would love to show this to my family and share this with my friends...Good thing I brought my camera, and yes thanks to Smart Bro Unlimited Home Broadband, I can share this via all my social networking links and sites, and they can see how adorable my nephew Zackary is, I'm so proud of him.

So I told my friends and good thing they were all online, and we shared happy moments and adored my nephew for his great show. And so after the reward... my chocolate bar is now Zack's chocolate bar.

Hey, just to let you know to be connected to your friends and family via the net, you would need a stable signal and consistent surf speed. What else can give you that but Smart Bro's Unlimited Home Broadband. Now is the best time to subscribe Smart Bro Unlimited Home Broadband Plan P999 or P1995. Because with every plan comes the promise of a stable signal and consistent surf speed.

Are you campaigning for Ferrari? McLaren? Will Vettel be able to defend his world championship? Will Red Bull still be on top of the Constructors Championship? These are questions that remains to be answered.
